ACETYLENE
THE PRINCIPLES OF ITS GENERATION AND USE
A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK ON THE PRODUCTION, PURIFICATION, AND SUBSEQUENT
TREATMENT OF ACETYLENE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT, HEAT, AND POWER
Second Edition
REVISED AND ENLARGED
BY
F. H. LEEDS, F.I.C.
FOR SOME YEARS TECHNICAL EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL "ACETYLENE"
AND
W. J. ATKINSON BUTTERFIELD, M.A.
AUTHOR OF "THE CHEMISTRY OF GAS MANUFACTURE"



PREFATORY NOTE TO THE FIRST EDITION
In compiling this work on the uses and application of acetylene, the
special aim of the authors has been to explain the various physical and
chemical phenomena:
(1) Accompanying the generation of acetylene from calcium carbide and
water.
(2) Accompanying the combustion of the gas in luminous or incandescent
burners, and
(3) Its employment for any purpose--(a) neat, (b) compressed into
cylinders, (c) diluted, and (d) as an enriching material.
They have essayed a comparison between the value of acetylene and other
illuminants on the basis of "illuminating effect" instead of on the
misleading basis of pure "illuminating power," a distinction which they
hope and believe will do much to clear up the misconceptions existing on
the subject.
